You have two bodies moving fast and adjusting their positions in split seconds. Some accidental helmet to helmet is going to happen. The Bradford penalty and fine was totally stupid, in that there was no helmet to helmet contact. Was the ref fined for making a bad call and directly influencing the outcome of the game?

Flipper Anderson heard footsteps, but Goldson is changing my mind. If you look at Goldson’s career he makes a jarring hit in almost every game.In a Monday night game versus the Cards (Singletary days) he blasted Beanie Wells not once but twice. In Ronnie Lott’s day he would have zero fines. Goldson’s play on Sam Bradford was similar to the one on Brady at the goal line yet no flags were thrown.
What are you supposed to do if a quarteback decides to slide at the last possible second.If you don’t make the hit your teammates won’t respect you worse you opponent. Ed Reed is right, the Nfl has become a sissy league. I agree with player safety but the players get paid accordingly. An MMA fighter goes in to the ring knowing darn well he might get the snot beat out of him, but yet he does. He knows the risks. Football players do too.

I’ve always thought that should be the dividing line. If a player comes in hard with his chest/shoulder and wraps the tackle it should never be flagged. If they launch themselves and lead with the head and shoulder with no wrapping of the arms, then throw the flag.

Of Fame with those types of hits. Wonder how many fines he would get in today’s game?

These men are gladiators and are well compensated for it goldsons hits are awesome and they should sign him to a new contract that accounts for his fines paying him extra for his losses.
